Datomic is an event-sourced db, and it makes it hard to introduce retroactive corrections to the data when your program's semantic already rely on using datomic's time travelling abilities: at one point you'll need to to distinguish between event time and recording time as explained in this excellent blog post:

This is why I' rather use XTDB [1], a database similar to datomic in spirit, but with bitemporality baked in.
